CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe GIMP file-iff (IFF/ILBM) plugin is vulnerable due to improper validation of the HAM row size when processing specially crafted image files, which can lead to heap out-of-bounds reads. This flaw may cause application crashes, resulting in denial of service and potential exposure of sensitive heap memory contents. Users and organizations relying on GIMP for image processing should prioritize patching this vulnerability to mitigate risks associated with application stability and data confidentiality.
Original NVD Description
A flaw was found in the file-iff (IFF/ILBM) plugin in GIMP. When processing a specially crafted IFF/ILBM image file, the plugin does not properly validate the HAM row size and improperly handles cases where the number of color planes (nPlanes) is zero. This causes a row size mismatch that bypasses memory bounds checking, resulting in heap out-of-bounds reads. This issue can result in an application crash, leading to a denial of service or a limited information disclosure of heap memory contents.
